Stunning views across the Dorset countryside to the sea. A good 1hr walk around the surrounding down and forest. A 2hr circular walk from where you are staying.

A short hike of approximately 3/4 hour from our cottage, this place offers spectacular views across the Jurassic coast on one side and across the rolling Dorset hills on the other side.

Not for the writer, but for Vice Admiral Sir Thomas Masterman Hardy, the monument offers 360 degree views over Dorset and the Jurassic Coast.
